A councillor in Brazil is proposing a new law which would force brides to wear knickers under their dresses at the altar, the Daily Mail reports.

Ozias Zizi has claimed that an increasing number of women in the south-eastern town of Vila Velha are not wearing any underwear beneath their dresses when they turn up to church.

This is due to a superstition that claims marriages last longer should the bride not wear knickers to the ceremony.

Mr Zizi told the newspaper: "The person, in fact, can get married whichever way they like, but the moment they enter a place of worship they must show some respect. And without knickers that just won't do."

The Brazilian Republican Party representative has also proposed restrictions on brides' necklines, to ensure they are suitable for churches and spare ministers from any embarrassment when conducting weddings.

Local pastors and residents have criticised the bill, claiming that it would be impossible to enforce fairly and that women should have a choice as to what to wear on their special day.

However, with her pale complexion and light blonde hair, the colours gave the upcoming star a rather sallow look.

Elizabeth, who is also the youngest Olsen sister, is more frequently seen in colourful gowns, such as the tight-fitting vintage yellow print dress she wore to the Critics Choice Awards last week.

White has been a particularly popular colour this weekend at the Golden Globes, with stars such as Elle Macpherson, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie all wearing variations of the shade.

Amnesty International has launched an appeal for socks to give to Mexican migrants making journeys across Central America.

The charity is asking for people to donate this humble piece of clothing, which was highlighted as the item Mexicans would most like to take with them were they forced to leave their country.

Although answers to the survey were mixed, Amnesty International found that socks were often favoured to more valuable possessions, which migrants expect will be stolen off them on their journey, or increase their chances of kidnap.

Amnestry researcher in Mexico Rupert Knox explained: "Much to our surprise, the migrants did tell us that the one thing they desperately needed on their journey was socks.

"On journeys that can be up to hundreds of miles, untreated blisters risk lives and a fresh pair of socks can make all the difference."

Legwear that accentuates women's individual styles could prove more popular in 2012.

Newer celebrities such as 2011 X Factor winners Little Mix will be more of an influence on fashion choices, particularly make up, according to Kissandmakeup.tv freelance beauty editor Zara Stone Rabinowicz.

She explained: "Little Mix from the X Factor [were] the poster child for the new year, with women worldwide admiring their striking looks and individual styles.

"We are also going to see more focus on individual style - and a lot of noise about what bloggers are wearing and doing, as they are the celebrities of the people and are often more relatable than A-listers."

Little Mix sported their trademark mix of patterned and ripped leggings paired with bright footwear at their concert debut at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London earlier this month.

The group have become renowned for their very different fashion styles, which is becoming a hallmark of their brand.

Activists in South Korea have sent huge gas-filled balloons filled over the border into North Korea, AFP reports.

Each of the balloons was filled with socks and were sent to help impoverished residents to survive the harsh winters or to be exchanged or sold for food.

Around 1,000 pairs of socks were sent in five large plastic balloons from the city of Paju on Saturday January 28th, with each containing a leaflet explaining the act.

"We're not interested in sending political messages or sparking any troubles there. All we want is that people in the North wear warm socks over their frozen feet," a spokeswoman for North Korea Peace told the news agency.

She explained that socks and many other daily necessities are in short supply in North Korea and the rarity of this form of legwear means that one pair could be traded for enough corn to feed a person for a month.
